Nice and will bet bigger crowds than Qld. That's a bit embarrassing @Desert Qlder ?? Your govt really letting you down there.Origin in Perth 2025 and 2028. Just announced
Well it is...Dunno.

I don't like the neutral venue every year. Every third year would be ideal. Sydney and Brisbane deserve/need two home games every three years at leastThat’s 4 of the next 5 neutral venues locked in with 2024 & 2026 in Melbourne. 2027 still open for Auckland or Adelaide If that falls through.
Also this article says that it is NRL policy to have one neutral venue each series. I know that has been apparent for a while but I’ve never seen it actually mentioned that it was an official policy.
That’s a great interview
Interesting point of view from a former AFL club CEO wasn't it. It's becoming embarrassingly obvious we should be here.That’s a great interview
He made a lot of good points. Including Pirates name being too pantomime and Perth should have its own identity, not a former Sydney team name and colors with a home game in Sydney.
Agreed. Pirates is a ridiculous name. And yes it should be a stand alone club.He made a lot of good points. Including Pirates name being too pantomime and Perth should have its own identity, not a former Sydney team name and colors with a home game in Sydney.
Raiders is a synonym for Pirate, already taken. I guess they could use Marauders. That's more intimidating like he hoped the name could be. Or could be return of the Reds name and jersey. Or could be a whole new name, something WA-related?Agreed. Pirates is a ridiculous name. And yes it should be a stand alone club.
I like the Reds. Problem is the need for a mascot.Raiders is a synonym for Pirate, already taken. I guess they could use Marauders. That's more intimidating like he hoped the name could be. Or could be return of the Reds name and jersey. Or could be a whole new name, something WA-related?

What’s the issue with super rugby?Reds & the red kangaroo is a great brand for a WA team. Call the Red Kangaroos if Reds is an issue with Super Rugby but I doubt it would be.
Yeah I’d forgotten that. Sounds good to meReds & the red kangaroo is a great brand for a WA team. Call the Red Kangaroos if Reds is an issue with Super Rugby but I doubt it would be.

Shouldn’t really be an issue when you’ve got the Brisbane/Denver/London broncos or the North Queensland/Dallas cowboys etc?Probably wouldn’t be an issue but QLD Reds are a Super Rugby team. They play in Maroon and have a koala as a logo but name would be the same. If it was an issue they could just be ‘WA/Perth Red Kangaroos’, no more of a mouthful than Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs or North Queensland Cowboys.
Teams sharing a name in the same Australian sporting market is more an issue and probably not ideal, compared to different leagues in different countries. But Richmond Tigers and Wests Tigers don't have an issue.Shouldn’t really be an issue when you’ve got the Brisbane/Denver/London broncos or the North Queensland/Dallas cowboys etc?

Worse/weirder tho, in the QLD Cup you have both Wynnum-Manly and Tweed Heads sharing the Seagulls name without issue. I can't think of a league in the world where teams within the league share the same name.
